Answer

10.5 units

Step-by-step explanation

1. We have been given the measure of one angle and a length.

2. Apply tan.

tan(60) = 6/x

6/tan(60) = 3.5

The missing side length rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.5

3. Solve for the area

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula base * height/2

6 * 3.5/2 = 10.5

The area of the triangle is 10.5 units
